LAKE VILLA, Ill. (CBS) – A 42-year-old Lake Villa man was fatally stabbed early Sunday while staying in Jacksonville, Fla. to watch the Bears take on the Jaguars.

Police in Florida say William Christopher Pettry died after an altercation at a bar.

Pettry was involved in a disturbance with two other people inside a restaurant called Fionn McCool’s and was stabbed by one of them, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said in a written statement. He died from his injuries.

Pettry’s aunt, Lillie Asbury of Chicago, says her nephew, who was known as Chris, did nothing wrong.
